REDGLOW The American Beauty Redglow is a fine, new early variety, released by the U. S. D. A. in 1956. It is a cross of Fairland x Tennessee Shipper. We watched this variety for several years in test plots before it was released for introduction. The berries were so beautiful that in studying the various selections in the test plots we found ourselves coming back to this row-Selection No. 4194. It was our opinion when it was introduced that it should be named "Miss America" or "American ; However, the name Redglow suits it very well. Redglow makes a large, strong plant, sufficient for a good fruiting row, but gen- erally needs very little thinning. The berries average large in size. They are very firm and quite shiny and beautiful. They certainly will bring top prices on any mar- ket if handled properly. The quality is excellent. Redglow is resistant to the most common strain of red stele, the same as Temple and Sparkle. Generally speaking Redglow is adapted to the middle states and is suggested for trial from Virginia to Pennsylvania and even farther north. Redglow is not considered highly productive but it has been noted many times that when the yield records are added Redglow produces more quarts than had been anticipated. Test plots on Long Island in 1958 showed yields of 8410 quarts per acre from Redglow. Part of the secret of its higher than apparent production probably lies in the fact that every berry reaches a good marketable size. Along with Earlidawn and Midland, Redglow is one of the early kinds which every grower in the middle states should try. Price list page 32. 4. Redglow—Brings Buyers Back 14 ^llSill.
